UFF File Reading and Writing

Reading and writing of ascii files in Universal File Format (UFF).

Description

UFF bundle contains 2 functions, one for reading (readuff) and one for writing (writeuff) of ascii and binary files in Universal File Format (UFF). Although there are many different data-sets that can be stored in UFF files in general, only data-sets 58, 58b, 15, 82, 2411, 2412, 151, 164, and 55 are supported (2411 and 2412 for reading only). These data-sets are frequently used in structural dynamics.

From February 2011 the code is hosted at

Great program. Thanks!

[Ray Martell]

Nice file.....one of the better ascii uff writers/readers i've seen.

[Frantz JOURDA]

Exactly what I was looking for. Tanks you Primoz, you're a star !

our instrument (polytec laser) kicked out a file that had invisible carriage returns in the windows environment. these had to be stripped out of the data file so that this m file could read the data.

Worked wonderfully on IOTech's Zonicbook 618 universal files. I embedded it in a calling function & graphed reams of spectra in minutes. Good work!

I don't seem to be able to read Universal binary 58b type of data. The ASCII part seems OK.

[Thomas Cunningham]

Using ver. 0.9.9b2, I have read 58b data embedded in a proprietary file format that was actually a universal file with added data- this reader still managed to extract the data, so I'm not sure what your problem might be. I stand by my 5 stars for now, good luck!

Worked fine on Universal ascii 58 type of data (imported from Cada-X LMS).

[John Anderson]

I tried it on a .unv file output from LMS Virtual.Lab with results from a modal test (format 55). It works fine. This just saved me at least a day to write my own. Very cool!

[Ryan Dolan]

Wow... I am in your debt. You just saved me a ton of work.

[Miguel Colomo]

I used it to read UFF data and create data from Matlab to CADA-X /LMS software. It was incredibly useful

[Seshagiri Rao Maddipati]

Very cool. U saved me lot of work. Thank you so much. now i can transfer data from Onosokki to CADA-X through matlab

[Ryan Edwards]

Thank you for this function. You also saved me a lot of work. As much as I would enjoy writing a function to read uff files, I just didn't have the time for this particular task I was working. Thanks again.

If I ever get to Europe, you pick the spot and I'll buy dinner! And if you ever get to Pittsburgh, I know where to eat and I'm still buying. Thanks again for a very useful program! It is the cornerstone of my vibration post-processing GUI.

I had problems reading binary data into Ideas, so added single precision write capability and now it works.

I have found an excel sheet for reading uff file here : www.noisestructure.com/products/Read_UFF.php
